Anatomy of a Wedding Video

Your wedding video will be a COMPLETE production, documenting the various events of the day. Each section has a "Chapter" link in the DVD menu, so you can jump from section to section, if you choose (like a rented movie). Some sections are set to music and generally edited in a slow-motion dreamy style, with background music. Other sections are edited in real-time as the events happen. Refer to the chart below to find out more about each section. These samples are generally "snippets" of the entire section. Some sections can run 30-60 minutes.

Note: These samples are very large files, please allow time to load. You may need to click the photo, watching the video as the buffer loads (and writes the file to your harddrive), then watch the video again with no interruptions. Especially on the Ceremony and Reception samples (8+ minutes long). Isn't technology wonderful! :)
